Chapter 843: New Friend

As he drove, Spant paid attention to the road conditions and observed the people in the approaching cars.

Frankly speaking, he was a little nervous. When a mission had considerable risks, the partic.i.p.ants would more or less be a little nervous unless they had sufficient confidence.

But gradually, Spant understood something.

I have a sufficient understanding of my strength and know that there are risks involved in this mission. Therefore, Im not too confident. However, Im very confident in the Ruin Hunter team Im working with!

With their equipment and performance, a single one of them could kill all the armed personnel present alone! This was also the case for any enemy a.s.sailants!

After confirming that he was standing on the same side with such powerhouses, Spant suddenly felt a heavy sense of security and deep confidence.

Upon understanding this, he relaxed and threw his nervousness to the back of his mind. He even looked forward to any aggressors discovering the unexpected powerhouses and realizing that the dangerous preywhich only required a little effort to dispatchhad become invincible devils.

When that happens, I would love to see the looks on their faces

Spant almost s.p.a.ced out.

His sedan circled the bends one after another and went deep into the mountains mines.

Even when they left the mountains and saw Gesterbourg, Spant still didnt discover anyone suspicious.

The journey was uneventful.

There was no attack? Was the information Sandro received fake?

Spant muttered silently. Not only did he fail to heave a sigh of relief, but he also felt a little disappointed.

He was disappointed that the great battle he had looked forward to never happened.

Gesterbourg was close to Icefield. The climate was cold, and there were plenty of mineral resources. The people there were inevitably a little intrepid. Therefore, after feeling that his safety had been guaranteed, Spant rather hoped to see the military exoskeletons and bionic artificial intelligence armor battle the enemy who only had ordinary firearms. He wanted to see how strong such high-level equipment was.

The other personwho also felt high strungwas the cargo owners safety supervisor and the employer of the few Ruin Hunter teams, Sandro.

He was mostly confused.

His boss was a well-informed person; he had proven this in many ways in the past. He had informed Sandro with great certainty that someone was targeting this batch of goods and had organized a group of powerful figures to launch an attack along the mountain path.

But now, the bosss words didnt come true. The entire process of escorting the goods was as calm as an armed demonstration.

Did Boss get bad information?

This was the only explanation Sandro could come up with, but he didnt relax. He definitely wouldnt lose his vigilance until the goods were delivered into the warehouse.

It wasnt like attacks inside Gesterbourg were unprecedented!

Bai Chen drove the jeep and followed the sedan in front of her through an inspection point.

Perhaps it was because the guards had been bribed in advance or perhaps it was because they never usually checked the vehicles coming from the mines, but in short, they didnt stop them and allowed the convoy to successfully enter the large settlement, Gesterbourg.

After driving along the road outside the factory area for a while, Spant turned into the warehouse area according to the planned route. Before long, he stopped the car in front of an ordinary-looking warehouse that only had two security guards guarding it.

There were indeed no attacks It was a little wasteful to spend 12 Grand Knight gold coins on Ruin Hunters

Sandro muttered to himself silently and signaled for the driver to speed up and rush to the warehouses entrance to complete the handover.

The bulletproof armored car he was in drove past many trucks and headed for the warehouse entrance.

On the way, Sandrowho was in the pa.s.senger seatkept looking to the right and examining the convoy, hoping not to fall just before reaching the finish line.

As he examined the area, Sandros pupils suddenly dilatedit reflected a window and an iron-black python head behind it!

Sandro then confirmed that it wasnt a python but a person wearing the corresponding bionic artificial intelligence armor.

On the other side, the woman driving wore a cold and stiff military exoskeleton.

If it werent for the fact that he was still rational and that another man wearing a military exoskeleton had suddenly crossed his body over his companion horizontally and waved amiably through the window, Sandro wouldve already reflexively used his abilities.

The price he paid was the inability to be excited. He had lost his pa.s.sion, excitement, and other emotionseven sleeping with women was only a routine. This brought about considerable negative effects in many aspects, but it still played a significant role at times.

Sandrowho couldnt become excitedalways reacted a little slower at critical moments. This effectively prevented any accidents such as friendly fire from happening.

Therefore, he didnt attack the Old Task Force immediately. He calmly observed the situation and believed that the team opposite him didnt have any ill intentions.

What he didnt know was that Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian had already prepared to cast Literary Hipster and Spatial Hallucination.

Sandros sedan car pa.s.sed the Old Task Forces jeep and overtook Spant before arriving at the warehouse door. Sandro then alighted from the car and exchanged a few words with the two security guards guarding the door.

The door to the warehouse opened, and the cargo vehicles drove in.

The four hired Ruin Hunter teams were left outside.

Apart from Spant and the Old Task Force, the Ruin Hunters from the other three teams were overjoyed.

The bounty this time was a piece of cake. Furthermore, it gave them three Grand Knight gold coins!

It was as if they had picked up a large sum of money while out on a field trip. The only difference was that they remained tense and felt a little uneasyit didnt have the languor of a field trip.

After all the cargo vehicles entered the warehouse, Sandro signaled for the two security personnel to close the door as he walked to the Old Task Forces jeep.

Shang Jianyao had already swapped seats with Long Yuehong. He raised his visor and smiled at Sandro through the open window. Its only slightly past ten. Are we still getting the free lunch?

Having not been attacked, the escort mission only took slightly less than two hours.

Sandrowho had long thought of what to ask and how to askdidnt expect to encounter such a question. For a moment, he was like a robot encountering a bug. He stood there in a daze for a few seconds.

I dont think so. Sandro finally understood what the other party was asking. The reason he replied was that he had to report to the boss quickly since the mission had been completed ahead of time. He couldnt leave these Ruin Hunters around the warehouse and be with his men.

Upon seeing Shang Jianyaos obvious disappointment, Sandro added, Ill convert it to Knight silver coins and pay it together with the commission.

Shang Jianyao immediately smiled. Youre indeed a nice guyyoure generous and friendly.

Oh right. He suppressed his voice and asked curiously, Whos your boss?

Sandro shook his head silently. This isnt something you should know.

Since everyone completed the mission together, we are definitely considered friends. Its normal for friends to share secrets. Shang Jianyao tried his best to persuade him and even used Thought Implantation.

He planned on taking the opportunity to get Sandro to help keep his teams secret.

Spant would enjoy the same treatment later.

Sandros eyes glazed over for a moment before he whispered, Its Mr. Aester.

Director of the Gesterbourg United Mining a.s.sociation, Aester? One of the five people we want to visit in the future?

Jiang Baimian quickly gestured for Shang Jianyao to continue asking.

Oh! Shang Jianyao was very excited. We happen to have something to discuss with Mr. Aester. I wonder if you can introduce us?

No problem. Sandro agreed without hesitation. Follow me later.

Youre such a bro! Shang Jianyao was touched and praised him. For this, he generously said, You dont have to pay for the meal. Keep it for yourself.

Without waiting for Sandros response, he looked at the warehouse and suppressed his voice again. What are the goods this time?

Sandro looked around and replied softly, Some are hard liquor made from potatoes, and some are rare metals.

The former was highly profitable in Gesterbourg and all the settlements in the White Knights. The latter was a strategic resource for many factions.

Oh, oh. Shang Jianyao lost interest.

After his subordinates unloaded the goods, Sandro left them in the warehouse. He led the three Ruin Hunter teams, the Old Task Forcewho had already removed their equipmentand Spant to the Hunters Guild to wrap up the commission.

After receiving the two Grand Knight gold coins, Shang Jianyao tossed them and said in dissatisfaction, I think its better to exchange it for Knight silver coins. A large pile just feels better!

This was worth 200 Knight silver coins.

Jiang Baimian angrily confiscated the gold coins in his hand. Isnt having it portable better? Look at the people in Gesterbourg. Most of them have to bring an additional money bag.

Wallets excavated from the surrounding city ruins werent practical here.

At this moment, Sandro approached and said to Shang Jianyao and the others, Lets head over to Mr. Aesters house.
